"As
for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven
golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and
the seven lampstands are the seven
churches. Revelation 1:17-20 (NAS)
The Seven Lampstands:
John
was not seeing actual physical things, but instead
was seeing a vision of symbols. These symbols
represented different things. The seven
lampstands were not real physical things, they were
things that John saw in the vision that represented
the seven churches.
The Seven Stars:
The seven stars that were in His hand were not literal stars, but represented
the seven angels of the seven churches.
